Hey Guys, My Christmas Palm seedlings are 10 months old and starting a 5th Frond. The bottom or first Frond is turning yellow. The first Fronds on the other plants are starting to brown up on the edges, is this normal at this stage? or is there something going on?

Thanks :D

The palm with the tiny yellow leaf is preparing to shed that leaf by withdrawing nutrients to use for growth. When it is brown you can snip it off or wait for it to shed naturally. That is how most palms grow taller/wider. The other seedlings look fine but will do likewise at some point. This is one reason why you shouldn't cut off leaves before they are brown unless you have to.
